I suppose if I put on the street out front, then yes.

Or it's nothing more than putting the leftover bones in a pot, cover with water, add onion, celery, carrot and salt and simmer for hours.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fekish:
Hello

Something weird happens to my Nook which is running the latest MIUI.

Even if I charge it in the morning at night I might get my Nook and is completely dead. And I have to plug it to the charger in order to turn it on...

Any idea of what is going wrong?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k8108:
You might try reinstalling the miui rom again. I am running miui 1.11.4 and get great battery life. One thing I've heard, and always try to do, is to install the rom, reboot and let it sit for a few minutes. Reboot again. I usually do a couple reboots (I turn my nook all the way off and turn it on again) before doing anything. Gives the rom a chance to settle.

I do remember that my nook drained really fast one night. Woke up to it being dead. I charged it to full and ran a battery calibration app.

Hope these couple of ideas will help you. Love the miui rom!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fekish:
OK thanks will try it.

I had NC for 4-5 months and was ok and happy.

After i installed MIUI and Mantano reader it took me to other levels!

I more than happy and excited than i could possibly imagine!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grim2008:
First of all, I am a noob and admit it proudly.

Anyway, I have HTC Desire, which came with android 2.2 but installed miui (2.3.5 version if anyone needs that info). I tried to install RUU from this page

ht tp :/ /androidforums . com/desire-tips-tricks /67098-how-flash-debrand-your-desire . html

but failed to make a goldcard.

Anyhow, installation took 4-5 minutes instead of 25 it said it would take. Now my phone is stuck while booting (displays only the HTC sign), and the computer doesn't recognize it.

(I am running on win7).

Any help would be appreciated. Much. Very much.

Whoever helps me I'll paypal him a beer.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.

Not much of a hacker, which you can see as I did this to my phone, so simplified or detailed explanations could serve better.

Thanks again.

Sorry, but I have already searched and googled everything but it seems that I wasn't able to really know what the problem was exactly. Checked out your guide seems very detailed and simple (and with many links which is for me the most important). Thanks again.

Please note if I get stuck at any point I'll probably ask again what the problem is, so sorry in advance.

i've installed hdboot drivers and htc sync drivers but uninstalled htc sync

so when i'm in hdboot mode htc is displayed in hardware but when is being booted and stuck on htc screen it's not.

so i can't use most of the programs you've said here but only a few.

Sorry again for all this hassle but I got lost checking all the steps and all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grim2008:
food for thought: would this be easier done on ubuntu win7 or something else?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastnButter:
Have you tried installing an official RUU update? If not, try http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads

It's the first download from top.

Run it while in fastboot. Should work, but if you want to be sure, wait for someone to confirm this
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grim2008:
I enter the setup and setup clearly recognizes my phone in the setup but refuses to go on, says that there is less than 30% battery (i don't know why, I'm almost sure there's more) so I'll try to charge it again for an hour or two and then try again.

Just writing this in case someone has experienced the same problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grim2008:
After 30min of charging no luck yet. I'm beginning to think that this problem will continue on but still to make sure I'll try again in 2hours but with minimum hope. Is there any way I could install this without using this program? My battery must be over 30% by now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grim2008:
absolutely no luck here again, here are also things i forgot to mention but i found out that it could be important from here on. my sd card is formatted and empty. So can i copy files from another desire or make some kind of goldcard or anything on it so that i can make somekind of restore from sd card using fastboot?????

Would it help if I use any other os (win xp, vista, ubuntu,...)??

could there be a problem with win7 compatibility or something? Just wondering.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grim2008:
Quick brainstorming. Should I flash recovery or bootloader using android flasher????

If so could you help me with which files shoulld i do it?

Sorry for "spamming" the topic here but it's really urgent to do this quick as i'm without a normal phone for quite some time.

V This part edited

Pretty sure by now i should copy something on sd card and flash something using flasher but i really don't know what, could anyone send some link or something similar.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grim2008:
OK, a complete turnaround of the situation.

Toastnbutter, I owe you a beer. You'll receive it shortly. It seems I was a complete fool nagging around, I just installed that ruu toastnbutter posted and the problem was that i didn't enter the fastboot mode (facepalm to self), I thought the fastboot mode was only turning it on while holding the down button but then I realized i had to press the power button again. I am really sorry for bothering you here but anyway you saved me.

Toastnbutter we'll stay in touch for that beer I owe you, although I owe bortak too for trying to help me out.

I don't know if I should somehow mark topic as solved so I leave that to admins.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastnButter:

[General Questions and Answers] ualinker:
Hi,

It is already for some time that I can't enable the data connection on my ZTE Blade. When I toggle "Data connection" in the settings menu it just doesn't do anything - up and down arrows representing a connection do not show up. It was working before.

Technical details:

Firmware: JOHN77_AIO5 (built from CyanogenMod Green V4)

Android 2.3.4

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-perf

My question is: is there any option I can debug this through adb or by any other mean? I am a developer (not JAVA, though) - so it is not going to be a problem.

I assume that flashing the device with fresh firmware will solve the problem, bu I don't want to go the easy way :)

Hey I was wondering is there anyway to make the stock Samsung accuweather widget update live to your current location when you go from one city to another. I find it annoying that I have to go add everytime. I recall HTC sense updating on it's own. Is there an alternative widget similar to the stock one I don't need the time on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i use Fancy Widget, it auto updates pretty good, gets the data from weather bug or google weather

alternatively the stock android News & Weather app also can auto update

and i also use the Weather Eye from The Weather Network

which is way more accurate than any of the above
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] erykz:
Hi,

I have the Rogers version of the i727 and it has no option, in any menus, to check if ota update are available.

But

I found this trick on another website.

Dial *#*#checkin#*#* (checkin=2432546)

You will receive a notification telling you that the checkin succeeded.

Currently there is no update for i727r (rogers version)

Erykz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cue_32:
That's probably not gonna work because running the CHECKIN will connect you to the Google Servers. Our updates will need to go through Rogers so they can add their bloatware and crap and sent out by Rogers to our IMEIs.

As the SkyRocket update has been sent out (and since they're exactly the same model minus the R), that means its ready but hasn't yet been blasphemized by Rogers yet.

That command used to work wonders with my good ol' Nexus One.

But..

Then again... I could be wrong. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
so what is the best thing to do?

is there any way of charging,dis charging ect to get the best battery life?

or should i just charg it to 100% and use it right away?

i did a charging squence with my nexus s. but duno about the Gn.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liorra3:
for me is to turn on the device and start working until the battery drops to 0-1%.

only then im charging it X2 then needed to go to 100%, you can make it Double if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Well, this is going to be one of those threads where everyone has their own little way to care for a battery and others say their way is better, etc, etc the arguments breaking out which will result in people posting www.batteryuniversity.com in an effort to win said arguments.

Here's mine. On a brand new phone, I put the battery in, boot up, connect the charger, run it to 100%, disconnect charge, run battery all the way down, connect the charge, run to 100% and go about my life charging when I need to.

My two cents. Have no idea if it does any good, but my SGSII is going on 1 day 14 hrs on a single charge, so it must work somehow...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
100% Agree. There will be a lot of different opinions.

My way,

Turn on phone, charge it to 100%, leave it plugged for an extra 20 min, and start using it normally.

The only time I discharge a battery is after a couple of months. Because we never charge it to 100% and they start creating memory and charging less and less every time. The purpose of discharging it completely is to erase its memory. That's why when it is new, I see no point on discharging it completely. Batteries suffer every time they are completely discharged and if they are left 100% for a long period of time, thats why new batteries always come charged about 50%, to extend battery life since they may be stored for a long period of time. (ref. aviation school)

Just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
That hasn't been true since NiCd's in the 1980s.

Modern Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer batteries have no "memory" and are actively damaged if allowed to discharge fully.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
OK, I may be wrong I'm no expert.

Why do people keep discharging them to 0% if they have no memory? (I'm not been sarcastic)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Generally because they don't know any better and they don't realise battery technology has moved on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Atreus:
Because batteries "back in the days" were quite sensitive to memory. That's why we were all raised by the complete-discharge-mantra, which sticks with you forever. The next generation won't have this problem and will feel free to charge their phones when they want to. ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tjotte:
Becouse android in itself keeps a battery log, it is from this log your device calculates the amount of battery you have left. To keep these values true (calibrated) you should do 2-3 cycles where you on purchase, discharge fully until device auto shut down, start it WITHOUT charge a couple of times and let it die to set the min value, charge up to 100%, use your device again till auto shut down... you dont have to worry about damaging your battery in this case since your device it programmed to shut down with good marginal of battery depletion. What you SHOULD NOT do is leave an empty battery uncharged for a long period of time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nutsonfire:
Lithium batteries will be damaged if they are stored fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods of time. Thats why the battery is about half charged when its new. They have no memory effect, they just loose capacity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Good point. While it's important not to fully discharge the battery too often, there is also the issue of calibrating the battery meter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crin:
That's exactly what I do, had 14 hours of moderate use today and still had 45% left. More than happy with that. It seems to be getting better each day at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
78% after 14 hours here, but that's light use. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Miracle_Nosh:
The whole "discharging the battery fully" thing doesn't really apply here - because nobody will ever fully discharge it. The Nexus uses a Lithium Ion cell - it's a single cell, with a nominal voltage of 3.6V. When fully charged, it peaks at 4.2V (at which point, the charging circuitry cuts off to avoid overcharging). However, when we "fully discharge" our phones, the cell only goes as low as 3.5V - and then the phone shuts off.

In reality, lithium cells can discharge to around 3.0V before any damage occurs. However, this would yield very little extra battery life. Stopping at 3.5V provides a wide safety margin (lithium cells are potentially dangerous if overcharged/discharged), whilst extending cell life.

In a nutshell - don't worry about running your phone down to 0% (unless you're putting it in storage, in which case leave it at about 60%). In fact, it's a good thing with a new phone, as cycling (charging and discharging a cell) helps to "wake" the cell up and reach it's max capacity more quickly. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
i see some good ideas about charging and discharging.

but it is indeed a fact that 100% and 0%(real) isnt good for our new race of battery's.

but a few posts here already tell how and what.

and its not gonna be a thread of arguments and stuff,if we all keep it in our heads that we just want to share our tip's of how you think its the best way(and have some experience with it)

just to share some info. and not compete the info against each other.

i well know there are different ways. but its always nice to read what experience people have with it to make a choice for my own and any other wanting to know this.

and i posted here in the GN section,instead of the Android section because each phone handles battery different,and this narrows the options down to a single device :3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
Just keep in mind it's not just about the battery itself it's about the software registering how much actual power the battery has at a certain time, so if the battery has in actuality 100% charge in it, and the software reads 80 then your phone will die out sooner. So charging and discharging is good because it calibrates the hardware with the software. Just remember to switch off the device then charge it so the software doesn't auto discharge when it thinks the battery reached 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
K i just skipped thru the posts, gonna throw in my input real quick.

Basically just run down the battery. Once it turns off, hold the power button to make sure all the juice is gone. Then charge it up to 100% and leave it there for a good hour. Now (root required) download https://market.android.com/details?...yLDEsImNvbS5uZW1hLmJhdHRlcnljYWxpYnJhdGlvbiJd and follow the instructions .. its not exactly necessary but a nice thing "just in case" .

thats my plan anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vash63:
Where does the loosed capacity go? Can it be caught?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juniorbattle:
And what do you think about charging with the phone being switched on? Is it better to have it switched off?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
Won't make a difference.. Phones are designed to be left on anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phillipm:
Hope my battery isn't damaged, turned mine straight on and seen it was 1/2 charged and just decided to charge when I need.

Letter from phones4u did say charge for 14 hours before use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
The funny thing is.all resellers have been saying that sins the begining of the first gsm.and is pretty inacurate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HideYoKids:
I've been told by my neighbor, who is a battery expect, having worked for a large Canadian company for 15 years and owns several battery patents himself, that lithium ion batteries prefer to be 10%-90%. That is their sweet spot. I can't recall exactly what he was talking about, it was a few months ago.

So, like someone said, it's best not to store them full or empty. But these are all things that have been taken into account. Your battery wont completely empty or overfill.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
for the calibration process yes but not for every charge after that...it's still a phone you need it on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juniorbattle:
Alright, so is it a good idea to wait for my phone to discharge completely and then connect the charger and switch on the phone and then charge it for 12-14 hours while switched on?

I assume that doing so for two or three times should improve my battery life in the long run?

Sorry for confusion

Has anyone had issues with the quality of photos with this rom? Pics seem to be a little blurry. Am I missing setting adjustments some where? Even a screen shot is blurry. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] Redflea:
I did some testing on my D2 running CM7, and found out that when trying to stream Google Music and Google Listen over 3G with ad blocking enabled:

- JRummy's ROM Toolbox recently updated (in the last day or two) ad blocking hosts file is ok with Google Music, but blocks Google Listen 3G streaming.

- The AdFree Android ad blocker host file is ok with both Google Music and Google Listen 3G streaming

Wifi streaming works fine regardless, of the hosts file used.

So if you've been having FC issues with Google Music streaming over 3G, and have ROM toolbox ad blocking installed, remove and reapply ad blocking to get the newer version of his hosts file

If you want to use Google Listen over 3G, then at this point, you'll have to use the Adfree Android add blocking hosts file.

I actually found that it is most reliable to revert you hosts file using Adfree Android, and then apply whichever ad blocking you prefer, depending on which apps you're using.

I sent a message to JRummy about it, so maybe he can work out the cause and update it.
